Hi ya

Finally decided it was time to add some females to my collection. I found these two advertised and am picking them up tomorrow. The lady says they're sub adult and is almost certain their females. After buying a loupe today I will be checking them for myself! Used it to check my other two today and found I have a male and a female! What do you guys think to them? The first she says is a normal and the second she's classed as a flame. I'm paying £230 for them do you think thats about right too?

Just check with the loupe.
Good luck and keep us updated.

The first one is early last year and the other is slightly younger apparently. No weights as yet she forgot to weigh them today when she took pics. Gonna ring in the morning and find out.

Well I've just rung and found out that the first one weighs 18grams and the second weighs 14grams. So they are quite small. My other half thinks I'm mad buying them as there still so small!!

There is no harm going to see with your loupe, but they do look like they could change still as they are small....I wouldn't probably pay all that money for them if I wasn't sure though. Is that amount for them each or together....?

Well thats the problem I have now is that its over 2 hours away. Would be a bit disappointing driving all that way to find they're 2 males!! Already got her to drop the price from 250 to 230 for both not sure she'll drop much more as its a shop.

Well I've just got back from my 4 hour round trip with no cresties. Although they both did look like females as they had no bulges, when I checked for pores i could definately see them on both. So instead of spending £230 I left them, didn't fancy spending that sort of money to find a few months down the line they grew bulges!! How accurate is sexing cresties by these pores?
